This weekend I plan on finishing Mouthful of Forevers by Clementine von Radics. I also plan on starting The Nazi Doctors by Robert Jay Lifton. I met Lifton a few years ago at a conference on the atrocities that happen during genocide, he was an amazing speaker.

I feel like I may be falling into a #bookslump so I decided to put all my other reading aside and try reading something different. I picked up this #nonfictionbooks about a specific battle during the #revolutionarywar. I am on chapter 4 and I am enjoying the voice of this book. . . . #inthehurricaneseye #nathanielphilbrick #ushistory #georgewashington #yorktown #historical #amreading #currentlyreading

I could get lost in a #bookstore for hours and hours. Here is a #shelfie from my latest visit. I ended up picking up two books, the first is The Thing Around Your Neck by @chimamanda_adichie and the second is Catapult by Emily Fridlund. . . . #tbr #toberead #amreading #bookhaul #haul #bookshop

On todays to do list is to send out this lovely #postcards through @postcrossing. I have been using the site for nearly 3 years and I love it ! . . #letters #amwriting #science #womenofscience #womenofmathematics #women #feminism #postcrossing

Week #4 and 404 pages completed for the #montecristoreadalong with @jkimexploring.This week we are discussing Chapters 35-42, which I thought threw me for a loop near the end! Anyway, without more of a delay here are weeks discussion topics. . . . 1. What did you think about Dontès showing up in France? Would you have reacted the same as Franz? 2. What did you think about the quote “Man to whom God has given a voice to express his thoughts-what is his first cry when he hears his fellow-man is saved? A blasphemy”. 3. What do you think of of Dontès / Monte Cristo’s personality or persona at this point? 4. What did you think about Mercédès reaction to Dontès? . . . My Answers. 1. While I expected to see him in the story, I did not expect to find him exactly where he showed up. He seems to always be right in the middle of action, not even watching from the side lines. It makes me feel like he is very calculating, but also trying to control as much as he can because he lost so much control while he was in jail. If I was Franz I would have most likely did the same thing, wait and see how things play out. Especially since he made it such a point to blindfold him when they first met. . 2. I feel like Dontès took the entire situation very personally and could not remove himself to be objective because what three men did you him, he essentially lost his life. . 3. At this point I feel like he is kind of scary in a way. He seems really calculating and twisted at times. He seems to be really motivated by his need to set the wrongs right, kind of what the abbè feared when he told him the truth all that time ago in jail. . 4. When I saw her physical reaction to him “pale and motionless” I really felt like she must be feeling like she has either seeing things or being a ghost. But, I also wonder if after all this time she knows the truth and she is afraid of what he might do. Even going so far as to tell her son to be prudent. . . #classic #thecountofmontecristo #literature #amreading #currentlyreading #alexandredumas #french #frenchlit

Today I was out and about in the bookshop and found this really interesting book. The Black Calhouns by Gail Lumit Buckley. To hear a families story throughout such major events I think will be very moving and impactful.. . . #blackhistorymonth #amreading #tbr #theblackcalhouns #nonfictionbooks #nonfiction #gaillumitbuckley

I thought I would share the unboxing of the February #tombowvipclub box. I truly loved what I got and I am so excited to use them in my #bujo. . . #bulletjournal #tombow #stationary #haul #unboxing @tombowusa
